"Who is leading the way? Why are they heading towards the Blazing Blood Gate?" The black-armored flood dragon's golden eyes were filled with doubt, "Do they have some sort of map that leads them to the Blazing Blood Gate?"
"Hmph." A sharp voice rang out from the side. An enormous black-armored bird sneered, "You're thinking too much. Just based on the strength of their team? If they knew of the existence of the Blazing Blood Gate, they would have long since taken a different route. Back when we were stage four World Deities, we came to Lake Heart Island and knew of the Blazing Blood Gate. But who would dare to barge into it? If they really were to barge into the Blazing Blood Gate, the four of them would most likely lose their lives. Even if they chose not to barge into it, it would be difficult for them to survive just by passing through. "
"The Blazing Blood Gate."
"That place is truly terrifying. Even before the gate opens, it is already dangerous. The moment it opens, it will be a nightmare. " These black-armored lifeforms all sighed. None of them dared to barge into the Blazing Blood Gate, as they knew their limits.
"What should we do, then? If the four of them die there, they will think that this region is too dangerous. It will be a long time before any other cultivators enter this region. At that time, we will have to continue our slumber. "
"Mn."
These black-armored lifeforms all began to feel vexed.
They still had a duty to fulfill. If Dongbo Xue Ying and the others were to approach some of the more important regions, they would still act. But before that, they still hoped to let the four of them live a little longer. In fact, if their luck was good, they might even obtain some treasures! That way, more and more invaders would enter this region.
However, they could not take the initiative to hand over treasures. After all, the moment they violated their duty, they would be annihilated.
"Chase after them and force them to change directions."
"Tell them to go in another direction. There's a fork in the road fifteen million kilometers ahead. Tell them to change directions there."
"As long as they change directions, they won't encounter the Blazing Blood Gate."
These black-armored lifeforms immediately made their decision.
...
Dongbo Xue Ying and the others were flying at an extremely fast speed. In a single second, they could cover close to 600,000 miles. In just a short while, they had already covered tens of millions of miles.
Hong long long ~ A cruel battle was currently taking place. Xue Ying and the other three had encountered the most intense battle ever since they entered the cavern. A very terrifying black-armored, tall and sturdy warrior had come to deal with them. This black-armored warrior's combat power was extremely strong, and it was estimated that he could match up to powerful existences! Dongbo Xue Ying and the other three were also resisting with all their might.
"Pu." King Fu Qiong spat out a mouthful of blood. A huge spell formation appeared around him, and numerous black rulers appeared, attacking the black-armored warrior in a frenzy.
The black-armored burly warrior wielded his greataxe. Every single move he made contained terrifying destructive power. Even in a place like the Lake Heart Island where the laws of the world were extremely strong, every strike he made would cause a black hole to appear in the surrounding space.
"Let's escape. There's a fork here. Let's escape to another path." Monarch Armadillo Jade sent mentally. "It's too tiring. We can't hold on for much longer. In addition, this black-armored aberration is only blocking us from the front. He seems to be guarding this path."
"Let's just follow this path," Jing Qiu sent mentally.
"Right, let's follow this path." Dongbo Xue Ying sent mentally as well. If they changed directions, they would be moving in the opposite direction from where the True Divinity artifact was hidden.
King Fu Qiong sent mentally as well, "This black-armored aberration is blocking us. Could it be that he's trying to lure us into another path? That path might contain a trap."
"That's possible," Monarch Armadillo Jade agreed.
One side was extremely powerful, while the other side was made up of four people working together. Dongbo Xue Ying was using one of his three secret techniques, the domain-type secret technique known as' Prison '. Jing Qiu and King Fu Qiong were using their blood-refined Deity weapons to attack as well. Monarch Armadillo Jade was even more powerful, and he would always attack at critical moments, allowing the four of them to join forces perfectly.
After battling for a while.
Dongbo Xue Ying and the others finally broke through the blockade and continued to flee at high speed.
The black-armored, greataxe-wielding warrior did not pursue them. Instead, he watched coldly as they left, then frowned and murmured to himself, "They insist on taking this path no matter what. I'm helping them so that they don't die too quickly. And yet, they're still charging forward of their own volition. Forget it. There's nothing we can do to help them. If they want to die, so be it. "
Although his voice echoed throughout the area, the surrounding region was completely isolated from all detection, preventing Dongbo Xue Ying and the others from hearing him.
This was their duty, and they didn't dare to disobey it.
Although they had their own selfish motives, they could only do what was necessary within the scope of their duty.

"Whoosh." "Whoosh."
Dongbo Xue Ying and the others were resting within a certain passageway.
Monarch Fu Qiong and Jing Qiu had suffered relatively heavy injuries. Monarch Armadillo Jade was the most slippery and intelligent of them all, and so he wasn't injured at all. As for Dongbo Xue Ying, his luminous sun force had given him incredible strength and speed, and he was quite skilled in close combat. As a result, his injuries were relatively light. Jing Qiu and Monarch Fu Qiong weren't particularly skilled in close combat; their supreme techniques were more suited to formation-based techniques.
"Fortunately, these black-armored aberrations seem to be in charge of different regions. If they had joined forces, we probably would've died long ago, "Monarch Armadillo Jade muttered." That one just now was too powerful. The four of us only just barely managed to hold him off. "
"Mm." Dongbo Xue Ying was solemn as well. "Fortunately, we had Monarch Armadillo Jade. If we had to rely on ourselves, the other three would probably have been killed by him in no time."
Monarch Armadillo Jade was indeed more powerful than the three of them.
He was able to control the flow of battle and attack at critical moments. His combat prowess was something that even Dongbo Xue Ying admired wholeheartedly. He truly lived up to his reputation as someone who was almost as powerful as Eldest Apprentice-Brother Huiming. It was no exaggeration to say that he was on par with Eldest Apprentice-Brother Huiming.
"I've only lived for a few years in vain." Monarch Armadillo Jade rubbed his chin, feeling quite pleased with himself.
"Let's go. Let's keep advancing," Monarch Fu Qiong said. "If we stay here for too long, we might run into danger."
"Mm. Let's keep going."
Dongbo Xue Ying nodded as well.
The four of them advanced stealthily. The rest of the journey was much safer. Occasionally, they would be attacked by black-armored aberrations, but their strength was still within the range of what they could endure. In the end, there were still very few aberrations with the power of a major power.
"Caw, caw, caw …" A black-armored bird cawed, then instantly split into over a thousand bodies that simultaneously attacked Dongbo Xue Ying's group of four.
The four of them continued to flee while simultaneously defending against the attacks.
By working together, they were able to hold on.
"Eh? Be careful up ahead! "Monarch Armadillo Jade suddenly sent.
Dongbo Xue Ying was also paying close attention to what was ahead of them. Ahead of them was an empty mountain, and within the mountain, there was a blood-red disc. With Dongbo Xue Ying's group's vision, they could still see it clearly despite their vision being obstructed. It was a massive disc that was at least a million kilometers in circumference. The disc was red in color, and it was covered with carvings of swords and sabers.
"Does it look like a door?" Dongbo Xue Ying was puzzled.
This massive disc looked like a circular door that had been placed on the ground. There was a vertical mark in the center of the disc that looked like a door that could be pushed open.
"A door that's placed flat on the ground?" Dongbo Xue Ying stared at the carvings of swords and sabers, as well as the blood-red patterns on the disc. He could sense a boundless killing intent and a bloody aura emanating from it. All of them, including Monarch Armadillo Jade, were experts. Naturally, they could sense this formless threat! This was far more terrifying than the black-armored aberrations they had encountered earlier.
"Hua."
Dongbo Xue Ying and the others were extremely fast, and they soon arrived at the mountain. The black-armored bird that had been chasing after them had also stopped. It cawed as it watched from afar, and was no longer in a rush to act.
"Everyone, be careful. Be careful of those ice sculptures," Monarch Armadillo Jade transmitted.
Dongbo Xue Ying also noticed that there were two rows of ice sculptures on both sides of the mountain. There were many of them, and there were at least a hundred of them.
"They can't all be monsters, right?" Jing Qiu transmitted to Dongbo Xue Ying. "Within the Lake Heart Island historical remains, there are many monsters that were transformed from ice sculptures."
"Don't scare yourself. Even though there are many monsters that were transformed from ice sculptures, it doesn't mean that every single one of them is a monster." Dongbo Xue Ying felt his heart turning numb. Any one of those black-armored aberrations was hard to deal with, and there were two rows of ice sculptures neatly arranged in front of them. If all of them were monsters, how could the four of them defend against them?
"I can sense a bloody aura coming from that disk, as well as an incomparably terrifying suppression. It's even more frightening than the three ancestors of your Bloodshed God Palace." Monarch Armadillo Jade's eyes were deep as he observed everything. He transmitted, "Everyone, be careful. Don't alarm anything. Be gentle and avoid that disk. We'll quickly pass through this mountain. Don't touch anything. "
"Mn." Dongbo Xue Ying, Jing Qiu, and King Fu Qiong all agreed. They could all feel the unseen threat from that disk.
"Let's go," Monarch Armadillo Jade ordered.
The four of them immediately turned into streams of light and flew past the disk. They did not even dare to touch the ground.
But just as they were about to fly —
The ice on the surface of the two rows of neatly arranged ice sculptures began to crack, revealing pairs of eyes that had already opened. They were all looking at Xue Ying and the other three, who were about to fly through the ice.
